Activities
- Take a ferry to Tortuga Island and enjoy the peace of the uninhabited biological reserve. Many tours take boats to the island and give you the opportunity to snorkel, hike, or just enjoy the water.
- Visit the largest city in the country, San Jose. It is also the capital of Costa Rica and as such, you can find history, culture, and local cuisine in every corner.
Family Friendly
- A popular destination is Carara National Park, a rainforest in the northern part of Costa Rica full of diverse wildlife. You can observe different types of birds, like the red macaws, if you’re very quiet, and a three-minute drive away is the Crocodile Bridge.
- Jaco is famous for nightlife, beaches, and as a convinient gateway to the nature that surrounds it. The beaches offer waves for the surfers and relaxation for anyone. Apart from Carara NP, very close are the Pura Vida Gardens and the Manantial de Agua Viva waterfall.
